Iowa City City Council to fill vacant seat by special election
The Iowa City City Council has elected to fill Councilor Andrew Dunn’s upcoming vacant seat through a special election.
In October, Dunn announced he would resign from his District C seat because of increasing professional obligations. This resignation will be effective on Jan. 1, 2025.
According to state law, a city council can fill a vacant seat in one of two ways: appointing a candidate themselves or having the public elect a new councilor through a special election.
On Tuesday night, the city council indicated they would hold a special election rather than an appointment. Several councilors said they wanted the public to have a chance to pick the newest addition to the council.
